Since "BARN IN THE U.S.A."

has been published we have received many wonderful, thoughtful, and gracious comments and reviews:

Here are just a few!!

Radio Review: KNX AM in Los Angeles John Clayton gives a "Thumbs Up" >> KNX 1070 Los Angeles Look for the audio file for 8/19/2006 titled "Offbeat Travel Book"	Photgrapher 'Ken Levy' says the book is a winner! ... Bob (the author), I have the book... the one with your autograph goes into protective custody! I bought 3 more so far and have showed them around to many an "ooh!" and "ahh!" You've done a wonderful job of documenting and preserving the history and images of a soon-to-be-bygone era. The writing is crisp, informative and entertaining, and the images are as magnificent as the subject matter itself. My heartiest and warmest congratulations on a marvelous accomplishment, and heartfelt thanks for including my images in your superb work.
A nice article from the Reno Gazette on one of our booksigning events: 'Barn harvests' photos from Renos' Jack Hursh	Bob Love, owner of the "O.K. Corral" in Tombstone, Arizona is proud to be featured: ... I throughly enjoyed the barn book... "So much of our history is disappearing. It is good to see someone trying to save the memories."
Libby Motika, Senior Editor- Palisadian-Post gives a hoot!! "Beloved Old Barns"	Author "Tom 'Forty-Rod' Taylor" relived his boyhood past: Folks, this book deserves a look. I even found a couple of barns I recognized, one near my home town and another close to where I lived as a kid. Great book, great photography. Take a look...it's a keeper.
And last but not least John Leik, editor of the Barn Journal did a feature reveiw for the publiction.... It was February 2002 when I first met Bob Crittendon near his home at San Juan Capistrano, CA. We had been in email contact for a year on Bob's book-in-process on historic barns of the American Far West. Bob, a Mississippi native and retired business executive, traced his passion for barns from a visit as a five-year old to his grandfather's farm at Martin, TN. Recently Bob sent me the result of his vision and years of dedication to this retirement project. Barn in the U.S.A. is a gem! It is a red (naturally) softcover volume of 104 pages, half of which are high quality full page color photos by Bob's collaborator Jim Youden and the balance Bob's text on selected historic barns in eleven Western states. Too often this region of the country is understandably overshadowed by the trove of barns in the Midwest, Middle Atlantic and New England states; Bob's book focuses and gives due credit to the vernacular architecture of the livestock and fruit operations of the West. No matter where you live, if you like barns and Americana, you will enjoy the photography and history of Barn in the U.S.A. Aside from the selected barns of the Far West, there is a useful section on barn types and features nationwide as well as current efforts to preserve this architectural heritage.
